Comprehensive support for bones, bone mineral density, teeth & muscles
Healthy ageing
Age-related decreases in bone mineral density affect both men and women, highlighting the importance of maintaining healthy bones by ensuring adequate calcium, magnesium, vitamin D & K intake. Bone strength also depends on physical activity, with calcium and magnesium both supporting normal muscle function. Especially important with advancing age, magnesium promotes psychological health. Together with calcium, it contributes to energy production, reducing fatigue, as well as assisting with nervous system function. The combination of calcium, magnesium and vitamins D & K supports numerous biochemical reactions in the body, as diverse as the normal function of digestive enzymes (facilitating the breakdown and absorption of nutrients in food and supplements), normal blood clotting, and cell division and specialization.
Bone health
Its never too early or too late to focus on good bone health by ensuring an adequate intake of calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and vitamin K. We reach peak bone density around age 30 and lose about 1% each year thereafter. Bone loss accelerates post-menopause, making it especially important for women over the age of 50 to reduce the loss of bone mineral density through adequate calcium intake. If youre not consuming dairy or plenty of vegetables, legumes and seeds, your diet may not provide sufficient calcium or magnesium for healthy bones. Vitamins D and K are also needed for the maintenance of bone health, with vitamin D being hard to get enough of in some countries during the winter months of reduced sunlight.
In children, calcium and vitamin D are needed for normal growth and development of bones. Those who do not consume dairy products may not meet their calcium needs through diet alone.
Teeth
Calcium, magnesium and vitamin D all contribute to maintaining healthy teeth, the foundation of a great smile. If youre taking a supplement to target dental health, look for a balanced and synergistic formula featuring key nutrients, such as calcium, magnesium and vitamins D & K, in optimal doses and ratios. Adequate calcium intake from food or supplements is key, but vitamin D contributes to normal absorption of calcium and, thus, to normal blood calcium levels. For peak performance, energy levels need to be consistently high. By contributing to energy-yielding metabolism, calcium and magnesium reduce tiredness and fatigue. Busy lives and stressful work environments take their toll on the body and may lead to magnesium depletion over time, especially if youre not eating a nutritious, wholefood diet. To keep fully productive, support your bodys resistance to colds and flu with vitamin D, important for immune system functioning.
Muscle function
Whether youre an elite athlete or exercising to keep fit, your muscles and bones need to function optimally or you may suffer from muscle stiffness and cramps after a workout. Calcium, magnesium and vitamin D all contribute to the maintenance of bones and muscle function. Strenuous exercise demands increased magnesium intake, and it may not be possible to meet your needs through food alone as Western diets are often low in magnesium. Both calcium and magnesium are needed for energy production and to reduce tiredness and fatigue, thus helping to ensure enough energy to meet your fitness goals. Sweating during exercise can deplete electrolytes, and magnesium contributes to maintaining electrolyte balance. It also contributes to protein synthesis, with adequate protein needed to support muscle growth.
Natural, vegan algae calcium & magnesium complex from marine sources with boron, D3 & K2
Advanced blend of 5 key nutrients for bone health
The Igennus expert nutrition team has combined a synergistic blend of 5 key nutrients in Calcium & Magnesium Algae Mineral Complex. Aquamin marine algae is an all-natural, wholefood source of calcium and magnesium. Due to the coral-like algaes porous, honeycomb structure, it is more easily digested and absorbed than the more common calcium carbonate derived from rock. The magnesium content is further boosted by the addition of Aquamin magnesium, a purified, concentrated seawater extract – high in elemental magnesium with excellent gut solubility and uptake. We include vitamin D in the bioactive D3 form sourced from lichen, which only grows in extremely pure environments. Vitamin D3 increases calcium and magnesium absorption, whilst vitamin K2, in the superior all-trans MK-7 form, ensures that the calcium is deposited into bones, not soft tissues. Boron works synergistically with calcium, magnesium and vitamin D3 by influencing their absorption and metabolism.
Natural, pure marine mineral complex
Natural marine ingredients are at the heart of our Calcium & Magnesium Marine Mineral Complex, with mineral-rich algae and pure seawater as the two main ingredients. Red seaweed (Lithothamnion sp.) grows in the pristine Icelandic waters. With its tough cytoskeleton it looks more like coral than algae, absorbing calcium, magnesium and trace minerals, including zinc and selenium, throughout its growth phase. The algae then breaks down naturally and settles on the seabed, from where it is collected using an organic and sustainable harvesting process. Marine magnesium is created by filtering pure seawater collected off the Irish coast, removing any impurities while retaining concentrated, natural magnesium, which is highly absorbable. All raw materials are analysed for contaminants, including PCBs, dioxins and heavy metals.
Hypoallergenic & no unnecessary excipients & fillers
Your safety and peace of mind are top priorities for us; with this in mind we continually strive to reduce unnecessary excipients and fillers in our nutritional supplements. In Igennus Calcium & Magnesium Marine Mineral Complex, we only use ascorbyl palmitate, a natural type of vitamin C, as an anti-caking agent.

About Calcium
This commonly-known supplement is most frequently touted for its crucial role in supporting strong bones. That being said, many of us don’t devote every waking minute keeping track of our macro and micronutrients to excellence, so a calcium nutritional supplement is a stellar means to complete a healthy diet plan.
Advantages of Calcium:
Calcium does in truth work just as your mama explained to you growing up, it reinforces your bones! As we age our bone density decreases, for this reason the boost in recommended daily dosage as we age. Bone density loss is a lot more noticeable in ladies than men, due to hormone balance. Estrogen plays a vital job in bone health so the decline following menopause can cause this drop off that is best neutralized with weight training and effective calcium consumption.
Beyond strengthening your bones, adequate calcium consumption favorably influences your nerve system, muscles, and cardiovascular system. This mineral helps your blood clot properly, your muscles to contract, and it likewise helps in regulating your heart’s rhythm.
Types of Igennus Healthcare Nutrition Calcium:
The Igennus Healthcare Nutrition brand may offer several kinds of supplements. There are also numerous kinds of calcium offered in the nutritional supplement aisle, the most common being calcium carbonate and calcium citrate. Each substance contains differing quantities of the mineral calcium – calcium carbonate (40% elemental calcium) and calcium citrate (21% elemental calcium).
Recommended Calcium Dosages
The baseline suggestion is 1,000 mg of calcium daily and for males 71 and older and females 51 and older, the suggestion increases to 1,200 mg per day. This is not a more is better sort of supplement, so avoid taking more than 2,500 mg daily if you are under the age of 50, and no more than 2,000 mg if you are 51 and older.
When to Take Calcium
Some research shows that your body struggles to take in more than 500 mg of calcium at a time, so it may be worth considering a smaller sized dose taken more often. Remember this when taking the Calcium & Magnesium Advanced Bone Supplement, Algae Mineral Complex with Boron, Vitamins K2 & D3, Vegan, 90 Capsules, by Igennus. Also think about the type of calcium you are taking, as calcium carbonate is best taken with food and calcium citrate can be taken with or without food.
Side Effects of Calcium:
Negative negative effects of calcium are experienced when the more is better approach is used. There is in fact an effective term for over-doing the calcium – it’s called hypercalcemia. This is a condition in which your calcium level in your blood is above normal. Hypercalcemia can deteriorate your bones, develop kidney stones, and hinder the interactions connecting your heart and your brain. Stay within recommended guidelines to eliminate hypercalcemia.
